If you're gonna get cancer, this is apparently a pretty good one to have. The odds of remission are between 80-90% for cases caught early and treated aggressively. Spencer is in a very good treatment facility. He's young and strong. As terrifying as the "C" word is, his odds are pretty positive.

Times like this are the only time I hate living up here. I'm going to have to find a way to make a trip back there soon.
The help that I can offer is the help that I offer everyone and that's prayer and plenty of it. You sound like a positive person and your attitude seems right on track and that's half the battle, as I'm sure you know. We'll send up prayers for Spencer and you that all will go well w/his treatment and I see him well!
